Chapter 636 Deploy each other
"What? Does Uncle Eight think there is something wrong, huh?"
Seeing that Li Zhen hesitated there for a long time and couldn't say a reason, the smile on Li Xian's face slowly faded, and he asked rudely.
"I dare not, I dare not. It's just that the old minister has little to ask about the affairs of the Ministry of Officials and is not very familiar with the affairs of the Ministry. However, since His Highness thinks it is feasible, it should be like this. The old minister has no objection."
The strategy formulated by Li Zhen is to be left and right. Although she does not want to offend the Empress Wu, she also does not want to have a positive conflict with Li Xian. Anyway, it is not something that he can control if Li Xian wants to recommend. It is impossible for him to agree with it. In view of this, Li Zhen's eyes slightly and she is already modest. The ground replied.
"It's good if the eighth uncle can think so. The little nephew is soft-spoken. In addition, he is old with Luo Binwang. Suddenly, he is afraid of being discussed, so he asked the eighth uncle to recommend Luo Binwang Kecheng?"
Li Xian has made such a big formation. Naturally, it is not empty support, but a real recommendation. How can he be fooled by Li Zhen? This rudely put forward the fundamental purpose of this invitation.
"Ah, this, this..."
As soon as she heard Li Xian's words, Li Zhen's heart was in a mess. Only then did she frightfully find Li Xian's intention. Unexpectedly, she asked Li Zhen to come forward to fight with Wu Hou in court. This was completely beyond Li Zhen's bottom limit. She refused to accept it, but it was not easy to refuse Li Xian's proposal in person. After all, it was beneficial on his head. The sword is not fun. In case Li Xianzhen is fierce, it will only be Li Zhen who is unlucky in the end. In this hurry, the sweat on his forehead has gushed out.
"Is Uncle Eight very embarrassed? In any way, the little nephew is not easy to live for himself. Here is the book of Xiao Ming, the right servant of the Ministry of Li. If the eighth uncle sees that it is feasible, how about joint name on it?
Li Xian didn't give Li Zhen a chance to breathe at all, and regardless of how embarrassed his face was. He reached out and took out a fold that had been covered with yellow silk from his wide sleeves. He held it in his hands and handed it to Li Zhen in front of him. Unexpectedly, he was forced to stand up.
"Your Highness, the old minister is not familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Officials. It's a big deal. Can you allow the old minister to think about it in detail and ask His Highness for benefits later?"
The importance of Luoyang Fuyin is self-evident. If it hadn't been for the fact that her own strength was not strong enough, Li Zhen would have already reached out to compete for this position. Even in the face of such strong people as Empress Wu, she would not hesitate to ask him to help Li Xian get chestnuts from the fire? Naturally, it was not what he wanted to do, although at this time She was forced to the corner by Li Xian, but Li Zhen still had a trace of fluke. She did not reach out to pick up the fold handed over by Li Xian, but bowed down and replied with apologetic face.
"Of course, this is the matter. Uncle Eight might as well take the fold back and think about it carefully. If it is feasible, please make a joint name. If you don't want to, the little nephew is not reluctant. Just give a reply to the little nephew before sunset."
He knew that Li Zhen was going to delay, but Li Xian didn't care at all. Feng Qingyun smiled faintly and didn't force it. He ordered generously.
"The old minister will obey the order of His Royal Highness!"
Li Zhen's words have been said for this reason. Even if Li Zhen is unwilling, she dares not force it again. She can only stretch out her hands, respectfully take over the fold, hold it carefully, lower her head, and respectfully respond to the promise.
"Well, the eighth uncle is tired. The little nephew is waiting for the good news of the eighth uncle."
Everything that should be said has been said, and the rest depends on how Li Zhen chooses. Li Xian is too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he waved his hand with a smile and issued an order to eviate guests.
"The old minister retreated."
The situation was extremely serious. Li Zhen wanted to stay for a moment. Hearing Li Xian's expulsion order, she happened to get up in a hurry, saluted respectfully, withdrew from the back garden, went straight out of the East Palace, and rushed back to her house in the carriage...
"Father, something happened. The people in the East Palace blocked the business!"
Li Zhen returned to her study with full of thoughts. Just now, she turned the screen and didn't even have time to breathe. Her eldest son Li Chong had already roared and shouted anxiously.
"What's going on? Say it!"
Whatever she was afraid of, she really came. Li Zhen was originally worried that things would not go so smoothly. When she heard that her business name was really targeted by Donggong, she couldn't help sinking, but she didn't want to lose her temper in front of her sons and her subordinates, so she drank with a cold face.
"To go back to my father's words, the matter is like this. This morning, shortly after my father went to the East Palace, the company sent someone to talk about a group of bodyguards in the East Palace carrying a few beds of stretchers and broke into the business, saying that a bodyguard bought fake wine in my business. After drinking it, several people fell down and asked my company to be responsible for compensation. , the dispute arose, and then, I don't know where a large number of people came from, which actually surrounded my business group. At present, it is making a lot of noise. The child does not dare to be arbitrary. Please make it clear.
After being scolded by Li Zhen, Li Chong was choked, but he didn't dare to neglect it. He could only calm down a little and hurriedly reported the news.
"Hmm?"
As soon as he heard that it was such a thing, Li Zhen's pupils immediately shrank. He had already guessed what Li Xian's intention was. There is no doubt that this was a warning. If Li Zhen did not follow his pace, the original trouble would soon turn into a big search. Thinking of the secrets in the "Ewaysgreen Company" that were too late to transfer. Unexpectedly, the panic in Li Zhen's heart suddenly rose, and his hand couldn't help touching the fold in his sleeve.
"Father, the business name is not allowed to be lost. The East Palace bullies people too much, and let the children lead the troops to reinforce. We must not indulge these dog slaves lightly!"
Li Chong was impatient. When he saw that his father didn't say a thing for a long time, he couldn't help it and volunteered angrily.
"Father, you can't do this. The child thinks that the East Palace is just a bluff. How dare he act recklessly in such a broad daylight? Is it true that there is no king's law!"
Li Qian had a dispute with Li Chong before, in order to see whether the Yue Palace should come forward. At this time, when he saw his brother's proposal to take action, he objected indifferently.
"The second brother, don't talk nonsense. The business name is the important place of my Yue Wangfu. How can it be lost? If it falls, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
As soon as he heard Li Qian sing against himself, Li Chong's face immediately couldn't hang up. He stared, took out his brother's posture, and shouted rudely.
"Enough, all retreat!"
Li Zhen was irritable. When she was quarreled by the second son again, she was even more annoyed. She brushed her sleeves angrily and drove all the sons out of the study, leaving only Pei Shoude alone.
"Your Majesty, the East Palace's move is strange, but has it made a very indisgruous request?"
After all, Pei Shoude is a think tank, and his intelligence is extraordinary. Although Li Zhen has not yet opened his mouth to explain, he has vaguely guessed the truth, but he is not sure, so he asked inquiringly.
"Well, let's have a look."
Li Zhen was upset and was really too lazy to explain. Then she reached out and took out the fold given by Li Xian from her sleeve, threw it in front of Pei Shoude, and said impetuously.
"Luoyang Fu Yin? Oh, the East Palace is really bold and has a big appetite! Since I want my Yue Palace to come forward, I can't just say it in the end.
Pei Shoude picked up the fold and passed it quickly. He smashed his lower lip and smiled, and his tone was full of sarcasm.
"Well, there are only two things. One is to let Wen Er go back to the court, and the other is to promise not to investigate the attack of the previous granary and reply before sunset. That's what does Shoude think?"
Li Zhen was pinched like a dough by Li Xian in the East Palace. She was deeply ashamed and did not want to talk about it in detail, so she simply said the two elements given by Li Xian.
"This guy is really domineering. I'm afraid the court will have a lot of trouble! But it's okay. Let him and his son fight. I'll wait for the next day!"
Pei Shoude has suffered a big loss under Li Xian's men. He knows that this son is cruel and has always acted uncondiciously. Every time the sword goes off the front, he can hit it. He subconsciously doesn't want to fight head-on with Li Xian. He just sees that Li Zhen's face is full of reluctance, but it is difficult to speak too clearly. This sentence is suggestive. He sighed.
"In the long run, it's better to be messy, but it's not easy to pass at the moment. If I come out of this side, I'm afraid it's not good to look good on the other side. After all, it's better to get a balance."
Li Zhen is a very human and intelligent person. Although Pei Shoude said it vaguely, he heard the subtext in his words, which was nothing more than Li Xian's intention for the time being. Although he also knew that when he was under the eaves, it was reasonable to bow his head, but on the one hand, he was quite unwilling. On the other hand, he was also worried about the surprise of Queen Wu. Although he can win the return of Li Wen, the heavy promises made by the Empress Wu may be ruined. In this way, isn't it a waste of time to participate in the night attack at the beginning of the month? This is not the situation that Li Zhenle agreed, but he can't find the balance point. He can only put his hope on Pei Shoude's wisdom.
"The prince said it well that the balance is reasonable. Now that the dispute between mother and son has arisen, it will only become more and more intense. No matter how difficult it is to have a stable time, as far as the balance of this matter is, it is actually not difficult to find. Since the prince wants to be co-branded, the prince can do it according to it, and he has his own strategy to deal with it! "
Pei Shoude did not live up to Li Zhen's expectations. He only thought for a little, and there was a decision in his heart. He smiled confidently and explained.
"Oh? What are you going to do?"
Li Zhen's headache is that she can't make profits at both ends. When she heard that Pei Shoude had a way to deal with it, she was immediately refreshed and rushed to ask questions.
"Don't worry, the prince, this matter can be divided into two steps..."
Pei Shoude brushed the long beard on his chest, smiled proudly, stuck to Li Zhen, and told him carefully. Li Zhen nodded repeatedly, and his originally tight face gradually eased down...
